AI Development · San Francisco · Built in India for Bay Area teams

# AI development agency for San Francisco

We're an AI development agency for San Francisco and Bay Area startups, building from India with Pacific Time overlap. We ship production AI features, agents, and copilots at startup speed, and you keep all the IP.

Book a 30-min scoping call [See our work](https://foundrysoft.co/work)

No sales script. You talk to the engineers who'd build it.

9+ hrs

Timezone overlap

Our team works a shifted day so you get real-time standups and same-day turnarounds in your time zone, not next-morning replies.

100%

You own the IP

Every line of code, model weight, and prompt is yours from day one. NDAs and clean IP assignment are standard, not an upsell.

Senior

No juniors hidden on the bill

You work directly with the engineers building your system. No account managers sitting between you and the people writing code.

Weeks

To first deployment

We move from scoping to a working system in production in weeks. Most engagements ship something usable inside the first month.

## What we build

Concrete systems we ship, tuned to your data and your stack.

### Ship AI features fast

Add copilots, search, and automation to your product without slowing your core team down.

### Agentic systems

Production agents with evals, tracing, and guardrails, not a demo that breaks on real traffic.

### 0-to-1 prototypes

Get an AI MVP in front of users and investors in weeks, built to grow past the pitch.

### Model & RAG tuning

Fix the retrieval and cost problems that show up once your AI feature meets real users.

## How we work

01

### Scope & evals

We pin down what success means and build the evaluation set before writing the feature, so quality is measured, not guessed.

02

### Build in the open

Weekly demos against real data. You see progress every week and can change direction before it gets expensive.

03

### Ship & instrument

We deploy with logging, cost tracking, and guardrails in place, then tune against production traffic.

04

### Hand off or stay

Take the keys with full docs, or keep us on for iteration. Either way you're never locked in.

## Questions, answered

### Can you keep up with startup pace?

+

Yes. We ship in weekly demos and get a working version live early, then iterate. Most engagements have something usable in production inside the first month.

### Do you overlap with Pacific Time?

+

We run a shifted day for solid PT overlap, including afternoon standups and same-day turnarounds, so you're not waiting overnight for progress.

### Will we own the IP for our fundraise?

+

Yes, 100%, with clean assignment and NDAs. Investors doing diligence will find clear ownership, not a contractor gray area.

### Can you work in our codebase and stack?

+

We join your repo, match your conventions, and ship features as PRs your team reviews. We're not a black box throwing code over the wall.

## Let's scope your build.

Tell us what you're trying to ship. We'll tell you honestly whether AI is the right tool and what it would take.
